Chapter 72: 60% Faster

Editor and Proof Reader: King Of Mortals, Dervish

When he opened the chatbox, Cai Xun noticed a blinking icon on the left side of the chat bar. The icon was blinking with a yellow light which indicated that this was something new and the user had not tried it before.

He clicked on the icon and a blue panel popped up. There were three bars on this panel. The first bar was for selecting the language that the user preferred. The second one was for selecting whether the user wanted to see only the translated version or both, side by side.

The third one was for some settings related to font style and size.

Cai Xun selected country C's language as his main language and chose the side by side message option. He wanted to see whether the translated message was really as sent by the other party.

After setting this up, he opened a messaging app and asked his friend from another region to join him in the game.

He could not wait to test this new feature. It's the natural reaction of people whether they are kids or adults, when they see something new, they can't wait to try it and see what's so special about it.

His friend soon joined him in the game. His friend Fredrik is from a Western country and speaks English. They became friends after playing against each other online in a match. Cai Xun was defeated by Fredrik but he could not admit his defeat so he asked for a rematch.

Fredrik agreed and from then the game of win and lose started. To this day, they had a score of 27 wins to Fredrik, 31 wins to Cai, and 3 draws.

Through this online interaction, both came to respect each other a lot, and thus a friendship across continents was formed.

Cai Xun was not a good English speaker, but he tried to learn it. After spending more than 3 months with each other, he was able to somewhat understand what Fredrik wanted to say from the chat.

When this new translation plugin for the game was announced, he saw the hope of being able to communicate freely with his friend and rival.

After connecting, Fredrik immediately sent him a message. Cai looked at the message that he received and was surprised.

From the original English sentence that he received, he was able to somewhat understand the meaning of it but when he saw the translated version, he smiled.

Fredrik had sent him a joke and since his English was weak, the meaning was distorted so he was not able to pick up the humor in the joke but the translated version of joke made him laugh out loud. The translated sentence did not look like a sentence that was translated by machine in any way. It displayed the full meaning.

He immediately started to type in C's language and wanted to see if Fredrik understood what he wanted to say to him but after thinking for a while, he used the voice to text plugin and sent the same message.

He asked him in pure C ( C's language) about his well being and added a quote in the message too and he asked Fredrik to tell him about the meaning of the quote.

Just 20 seconds after sending the message, he received a reply from Fredrik. The message was delivered to him in both languages but Cai automatically ignored the English and focused on C.

Fredrik had told him that he was well and explained the quote with the exact meaning.

Just from this short test, Cai Xun knew that this translation plugin was a huge success and he was not the only one who had done tests with the plugin. Many other players, even some companies had tested this translation software and were in awe of it.

This was truly a leap above the current software market and these tech companies knew that this software was going to be hot.

Just an hour after the launch of the new software, the "Evos" call center became paralyzed. Calls on calls were coming and many wanted to know if the software was available outside the game.

(AN: Evolutioners will now be written as Evos. Do you like the new one or would you like me to change it back to the previous one.)

The people and the companies calling were just small fries. The big players in this field were having emergency meetings.

All data about the game and company were on the tables in these meetings. Of course, all this data that they had was only what Fu Yan allowed the world to see. They could not access detailed information about the owner and its specific management system.

They only knew that this company came into being less than a half-year ago and that it released one big project after another that was dominating in its respective field. The game that the company created became known for its graphics and cloud play.

After a while, they released a voice to text plugin for the game which also became popular in the game community but did not gather that much attention from the tech giants and finally the translation software which is currently going hot in the market.

They had the data about Fei Hong, Jiao Mei, and some other staff too. All in all, everyone was staring at "Evos" now and many were to ready to eat this juicy prey.

Like other tech giants, an emergency meeting was being held at google's regional headquarter under the leadership of the vice president Chen Fan.

He also had a file containing the data about "Evos" and its operations. There was also a file that had the data on Fu Yan. When he came to"Evos" and saw Fu Yan there, he decided to investigate him too but all the data showed that Fu Yan was just an ordinary boy who had nothing to do with the company.

He looked at the files and then shifted his attention to the project head of the translation team and the team members sitting next to him.

"Ok, who will give me a brief report on how good is this translation software released by "Evos" compared to ours." Chen Fan asked in a deep voice.

After hesitating for a while, one team member stood up and picked up a file from the table and explained.

"Sir, we have tested this software against ours, and from current data, the software from "Evos" is at least 60% faster than ours and has 40% more accuracy."

Chen Fan looked at the man who was explaining and asked.

"Is this data accurate or will there be changes in the future."

The young man gulped and said in a low voice.

"Sir, the data may vary after further testing."

Chen Fan's face turned grim after hearing this.
